Jack Fugaro wins the 2024 TIDA Australia Architect Bathroom Suite of the Year

The challenge in designing this suite was to give personality to a series of formal spaces contained within a single zone that also serves as a private retreat.

Accessed directly from the first floor stair lobby, the suite opens to a small kitchenette bench, giving a hotel-like experience on arrival.

This then leads into the generously sized bedroom with its quirky seating, and on to the separate his-and-hers walk-in-robes.

These have been individually finished to suit each owner’s tastes and fitted out with a personlised range of storage requirements.

Further in, the ensuite bathroom is sculptural in form, with refined detailing and a rich layered material palette of Verde Alpi marble, ribbed panelling and black hexagon mosaics

Brass-white Carrara marble tiles on the feature wall wrapping around the bath are also carried through to the floors. 

Darker onyx, hand-made ribbed concrete vanity basins and a matching bath tub amplify the moody ambiance created within the bathroom.

The TIDA judges felt the end result was a skilful blend of tactile and textural finishes that provided a subtle background to complement and highlight the architectural features of the bath and vanity.
